[Via Satellite 09-08-2015] Intelsat<\/b> and Harmonic <\/b>have partnered to start a linear Ultra-HD demonstration channel available in North America. The channel, HVN Intelsat UHD, will broadcast from Intelsat\u2019s Galaxy 13 satellite located at 127 degrees west, providing Multi-channel Video Programming Distributors (MVPDs) with an opportunity to prepare and test their Ultra-HD transmissions, as well as opportunity for U.S. cable programmers to conduct their own testing of Ultra-HD content.<\/p>\n
Intelsat and Harmonic plan to show the demo channel at the IBC2015 Conference from Sept. 11 to 15, 2015. The show demo will use an end-to-end Ultra-HD video processing system from Harmonic, and Intelsat will transmit live and linear 2160p60 (HEVC Main 10 profile) video content via C-band on the Intelsat Galaxy 13 satellite. The content will then travel from Intelsat\u2019s Atlanta, Ga., teleport facility using the IntelsatOne IP\/Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) network to the operator\u2019s Fuchsstadt, Germany, teleport facility, where it will be uplinked via Ku-band on the Intelsat 905 satellite located at 335.5 degrees east, and received and decoded at the RAI Convention Center in Amsterdam, Netherlands.<\/p>\n
The initial commissioning test signal will leverage transport stream servers located at Intelsat\u2019s teleport facility in Atlanta, Ga., and Harmonic\u2019s ProMedia Xpress multiscreen transcoder and packager for pre-compression of the video loop. Later this year, Harmonic will deploy its MediaGrid shared storage system, Polaris playout management suite, Spectrum X advanced media server system and Electra X3 advanced media processor to enable full Ultra-HD channel production and transmission from the company\u2019s HVN Center in California. That signal will then be uplinked in Intelsat\u2019s teleport facility in Atlanta, Ga., via the Galaxy 13 satellite.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
